Unusual Clothes Hanger Made from Skis: Milan, 2010

Here’s one for all of you sports fan out there. We saw this unusual ski clothes hanger while checking out some of the creations of individual designers presented at the Salone del Mobile in Milan. We thought some of our readers would perhaps be inspired by such a “product” and even be tempted to create one for themselves. Unfortunately we didn’t catch the name of the producer, so if any of you know who created it, please leave a comment. We think this is a pretty cool design to place in an apartment entrance as it is able to freshen up the entire hallway. Plus, it functions as an interesting teaser and as a constant inducement to go ahead and practice this awesome sport.

Interesting use of spare skis, but I would rather take them to the slope:)

This is not new, ski shops and hotels in ski resorts have had racks such as this and benches and chairs and all sorts of things made out of old skis for dozens of years, probably since skis were invented, used and worn out…

Just because it’s being exhibited at Milan 2010 by some designer that feels the need to pass off other people’s work as their own does not make it new.
